WIDE Bay Training Area emulated
Baghdad's red zone as Secdet 16 par-
ticipated in a live-fire exercise from
November 23-27.
During Exercise Baghdad Run, soldiers
ran through scenarios where their motor-
cade of vehicles came under a complex
attack involving IEDs and small-arms fire.
The exercise was the culmination of
training for Secdet 16, which underwent
rigorous back-to-back exercises in the lead-
up to its deployment to Iraq next year.
The scenarios compelled the soldiers to
respond to a challenging live-fire environ-
ment.
OC Secdet 16 Maj Allan Hamley said
the troops had performed well throughout
their training and were ready for the task
ahead.
"The intensive period of individual and
collective training has built a solid combat
team that now, after completion of live fir-
ing, has demonstrated it is more than ready
for operations," Maj Hamley said.
The training covered first aid, marks-
manship, explosive-hazards awareness,
language proficiency and force preparation
and then progressed to collective training
with the intensive and challenging mission
rehearsal exercise.
The detachment will provide close per-
sonal protection, static security, includ-
ing mentoring, and security advice to the
Australian Embassy when it deploys.
